IEP Supports and Services - Supplementary aids to support your child:

Write down your answers to these questions:

• What tools does your child NEED to make learning accessible?

• What therapies will help your child become more successful?

• Are there assistive technologies that will improve her learning or enhance access to learning?

• Has your child had an "Assistive Technology Evaluation"?

• Does your child require a special teaching method which requires teacher training?

• What tools does your child use at home that help her?

A child may require specialized devices at home or other settings. IDEA §300.308(b) says, "On a case-by-case basis, the use of school-purchased assistive technology devices in a child's home or in other settings is required if the child's IEP team determines that the child needs access to those devices in order to receive FAPE."

A school may provide separate items for home and school usage, or may elect to let the supplementary aids travel back and forth, but the devices must be provided if needed. It is advisable to define whether provided devices or aids will travel to and from home as needed.

Writing needed supplementary aids and services into an IEP is relatively straight forward. Most often, these are provided as a list if devices, aids, or specialized services. Additional information can be included regarding when and how the services are used.
